Editorial Reviews

Review
Highly recommended for upper-division undergraduate collections and above.-Choice.
This book is a valuable, insightful, and refreshing excursion into the temporal and spatial worlds of Spenser's fiction, using solid textual support to enhance a solid perceptive reading.

Erickson has done a real service in re-opening this line of inquiry and in proposing a new way of understanding how Spenser integrates epic and romance.
